Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream is the richer curl cream for thicker, drier, coily hair. A more intensive dose of argan oil and moisturising agents than the Curl Defining Cream delivers deep hydration and stronger curl definition — leaving curls soft, bouncy and frizz-free, never crunchy.

Benefits
  • Intense moisture — argan oil hydrates dry, coily hair.
  • Stronger curl definition — shapes and forms the curl pattern.
  • Frizz control — smooths without crunch or stiffness.
  • Soft, touchable curls — with bounce and movement.
How to use
  1. Apply generously to soaking-wet hair in sections.
  2. Rake through from roots to ends, then scrunch upward.
  3. Diffuse on low heat or air-dry.
Who it's for

Thick, dry, coily and natural hair needing deep moisture and definition. For fine or wavy hair, the Curl Defining Cream is lighter. Read the curly hair care guide or browse curly hair products.

Why our stylists rate it
From the Partners Hair team
Moroccanoil Intense Curl Cream is a rich leave-in styling cream for thick, coarse, and tightly curled or coily hair. Part of the Moroccanoil Curl range. Delivers deep moisture and lasting curl definition with argan oil, taming frizz on the most demanding curl types.

Best for: thick, coarse, dry, or tightly coiled hair needing intensive moisture and firmer curl definition; curls that find the lighter Curl Defining Cream insufficient; the leave-in styling step in a Curl routine paired with Curl Enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner (and Curl Cleansing Conditioner for co-washing).
Less suited to: fine or wavy hair that a rich cream could weigh down (use Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream); straight hair (use Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream); hair primarily needing volume (use Moroccanoil Volumizing products).

Key actives:
- Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) — antioxidant-rich; deeply hydrates curls and adds shine
- Rich conditioning agents — deliver lasting moisture to coarse, thirsty curls
- Curl-defining polymers — shape and hold tight curls while controlling frizz

Benefits:
- Deeply hydrates thick, coarse, and coily hair
- Defines and elongates tight curls with lasting hold
- Tames frizz on demanding curl types
- Adds softness, bounce, and shine
- Richer moisture than the standard Curl Defining Cream

How to use: Apply generously to clean, damp hair, raking and scrunching through the lengths to define curls. Air-dry or diffuse. Reapply to dry hair to refresh and tame frizz. Do not rinse.

Format: 300ml leave-in styling cream.
